I have received an email from a very well known instructor who said the following:
"Hi Joe:
I tell people that the grounding electrode conductor (GEC) can be "bare, or any color but green, white, green/yellow or orange" in my PV power systems and the NEC presentations that I make to electrical inspectors and electricians and PV professionals. Most use bare with black as a distant second choice.
I do not favor a new color as it will be hard to get in many locations and will take years to educate and implement."
You always tell us to ask inspectors for code cites, so I ask you where are the very well known instructors code cites?
Even if we know that something is the CMPs intent if it did not make it in to the code book is it enforceable?
